By the age of seventeen, Amal Ahamri was the face of the first all-women tbourida teams. An intimidating equestrian display, tbourida is a centuries-old competition in Morocco. But as Amal reaches her 30's and becomes pregnant with her second child, she falls from the spotlight. What she thought would be a short pause from the sport extends into several years, throwing into question her priorities and fears.
